Welcome to MIDSA

The Multidimensional Inventory of Development, Sex, and Aggression (MIDSA) is a computerized self-report inventory that provides a clinical report to support therapeutic interventions with juveniles and adults who sexually offend. Among other information the report includes:

A history of living arrangements with caregivers and institutions.

Detailed family and child-rearing experiences, including sexual and physical abuse, neglect, caregiver relationships and vicarious violence.

Social, sexual, antisocial, and criminal history.

Scales assessing sexualization, aggressiveness, and related attitudes, beliefs, and feelings that have been found important in causing and sustaining sexually aggressive behavior.

The MIDSA is a complete software system that includes a program to present the assessment and a program to manage respondents and to request reports. The reports are requested, generated, and sent to the user via the internet, resulting in turn-around times measured in seconds.
